>> The Paulson plan is not an unreviewable dicatorial power grab, that is and always has been a baseless fearmongering smear, and beneath the seriousness of this crisis.

You’re a liar. Here is the actual text of the draft proposal.

“Sec. 8. Review.

Decisions by the Secretary pursuant to the authority of this Act are non-reviewable and committed to agency discretion, and may not be reviewed by any court of law or any administrative agency.”

Calling it an unreviewable dictatorial power grab is perfectly correct. Not a smear at all.

It is a smear, because that is mere legal boilerplate to prevent every jackass with a lawyer from disputing every price until doomsday. Oversight is with *congress*, where it belongs, when it is a matter of the public's money. Not with a judge or a pack of private lobbyist lawyers. Everyone knows this is true, even those trying to smear the bailout because they oppose it for other reasons. They are merely imposing on the legalese understanding of the American people.
